Lovely Valentine’s Day ideas for photographers

Yes, I know it seems like we just got through the holidays, but January really is the time to start thinking about how to market your photography business for Valentine’s Day.

From photo overlays and promo graphics to making your mini sessions unique and items to you can sell to clients like cards, framed collages, and round stickers, here are some lovely Valentine’s Day ideas for photographers that will help your business stand out this February!

1. Valentine’s Day Photo Overlays – KimlaDesigns

These photo overlays would be great not only in Valentine’s marketing, but also used on mini session images. You could provide gallery images with and without the overlay just in case your client doesn’t want to date the images.

2. Valentine’s Day Card – Hazy Skies Designs

This card is adorable. I love the simplicity – charcoal gray with pops of color. This would be a great template to provide your clients, or even for your children’s Valentine’s Day cards.

3. Circle Card/Sticker Template – Jamie Schultz Designs

I love circle-shaped designs, and these versatile designs could be used as standalone marketing graphics, as print cards, or for Valentine’s Day stickers.

4. Mini Session Marketing – The Hummingbird Press

If you’re looking for something that’s already put together and doesn’t require additional design, then this marketing board is for you. Just update the image, price, and details and you’re ready to promote your Valentine’s sessions.

5. Heart-Shaped Photo Collage – Minted

I think this is my favorite display idea! Not necessarily Valentine’s Day specific, this is something that could be kept on your wall year round because it doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day. This would be a great canvas option to provide clients so all their session images could be featured.

6. Facebook Timeline Covers – Prairie Sweet Boutique

These timeline covers can be used in January to promote your Valentine’s sessions, and then you can provide each client with a custom timeline cover so they can share their lovely images with all their friends and family. Be sure to add your logo to the timeline cover for extra exposure!
